Thanks to all from First Baptist Academy who came and helped us on their Service Day – November 16, 2015, here are some quotes from the students:

  • “I never knew how much work they had to do. They do it for free too!”
  • “I hope that God can keep working in those people’s lives to help out those in need”
  • “I really want to do it again because I know I am helping people.”
  • “I realized how well our class works together and we have fun while working.”
  • “This trip wasn’t just about sorting boxes and folding clothes, but it was ministry and making people feel good and making them see what God is really like.”
  • “The plan of God will never be hindered no matter how unreachable it may seem.”
  • “It was cool to see the amount of clothes there because it showed the power of God has in these situations.”
  • I loved hanging out with the people there because they were so sweet and generous and giving.”
  • “I really love how people put that place together. I think it is great that people care that much. I absolutely loved doing the volunteer work.”

Thanks to Debra, Liz, Darlene, Beth, Mark, Harriet, and Pastor Doug for braving the cold and being Old Newsboys for the day. A special thanks to those who donated.
